For the last year and a half, we have reached people from all walks of life! It has been an amazing journey, but recently God laid it upon our hearts to start working with guys transitioning out of homelessness in a different way! What way? I’m glad you asked. For the last two weeks, we have been showing guys how to take old reclaimed wood, and turn it into art – Dignity Art!

We have specifically worked with a guy named Bruce to build pieces of art, and allow our followers to make a bid toward those pieces (donating funds), and when the highest bidder wins, it creates an opportunity for us to compensate him for his work (employing him). Below are a few pieces that he has designed, and two of his latest pieces. If you would like to learn more, email us at info@lovebeyondwalls.org or if you would like to have a phrase placed on wood, let us know!

Check out this video! It highlights what Bruce has done with the art he has been making! He has made a piece for #dignityart that says, “Keep Moving Forward.” It you make a bid, we can employ him for a days worth of work. See how this is helping him fight homelessness.

Several months ago, we had a dream! It was simple. Transform an old church bus into a mobile unit that will serve those who are in need. Months later, we have been on the road (two months) and have given out 166 makeovers (we are aiming to do 275)!

In fact, we have seen lives change and transform on the spot. Where does this lead? We are glad you asked. It is leading us toward our next program that will empower those we serve! Details will follow soon. Check out some of the pictures below!

We are partnering with Raury, and his annual festival in Atlanta this coming Friday (at the Georgia Freight Depot). While the concert is going on, we will be providing haircuts to the homeless in the city!

Additionally, students from Usher’s New Look & C5 Georgia Youth Program will be accepting clothing donations at the door to distribute to those in need. Check out the flyer below for more details.

Last week, we met Mike, and got a chance to make him over and connect him to resources that are aiding him today… Before he left, he shared some of his story to bring awareness to the struggles of homelessness. If you get a moment, watch! Excuse any language that may offend you.
